Another genre of "Exotic" girl during the 1950's and 60's was the sexy Country/Hillbilly/White Trash girl. Clearly the archetype was defined in the comic strip "Lil' Abner" which featured such buxom Country beauties like Daisy Mae Yokum…

On television we saw Daisy Duke precursors like Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island"…

And Elly May Clampett on the "Beverly Hillbillies"…

As well as the genre extended to outer space (again !!) in an episode of "Lost in Space"…

The movies gave us racier versions like Joy Harmon in the car washing scene from "Cool Hand Luke"…

Carroll Baker in "Baby Doll"…

Yvette Vickers in "Attack of the Giant Leeches"…

But I think Russ Meyer really perfected it in movies like "Lorna" and "Mudhoney" ...

Well she certainly had an authentic "Exotica" mixture of Japanese, Filipino, Cheyenne Indian, and Scotts-Irish. No need for make-up or elaborate costumes to create that illusion of ambiguous ethnicity.

And for what it's worth she has been an iconic figure in a lot of Tiki Revival art…

Also she actually hung out in Tiki bars. Here she is celebrating her 69th birthday at Forbidden Island with a Tiki birthday cake…

But I think the one thing working against her is her lack of approachability, a quality that all true ExoticA girls should possess. She was more likely to beat you up than anything else…

Country girls are "Exotic" !!!

I wonder if John-O's post might have been the inspiration for the 2013 Tiki Oasis theme?
